I have been getting the Claimed By since yesterday. I tried approving using email and by going to the group to approve messages. No luck either way. It let me reset the privilege of the member, but would not let me approve. I also tried sending a new topic to the group and that also did not get posted.?
Finally today after many tries I was able to approve one message, that did show up on the message board. But the ones from yesterday never did, and the message I posted myself never showed up.

It means that a moderator has edited the message, or has it open for editing now. It is a mechanism intended to help moderators avoid stepping on each other's toes.
(a) When I click on them and say approve, they don't leave the
queue ...
Not sure what you mean by "click on them", but you should be able to check the box on their row and approve them - or open them individually and approve them. In either case you'll get a pop-up warning that the message is claimed.
The hard question- this what I see through my web browser 'at work'.
'at home' I don't see those messages in the pending queue - Pending is
empty form the home browser.
I don't have an answer for that, unless one or the other browser was caching old information, or circumstances changed as you moved from work to home (the messages were approved, deleted, or otherwise removed from the pending queue).
